Another Adobe Flash zero-day for sale by security software vendo

InteVyDis, a Russian firm specializing in packaging software security exploits, has released a software module that can give a remote computer access to an up-to-date Windows 7 machine running the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player 11.

The exploit module, called vd_adobe_fp, is packaged in VulnDisco Step Ahead Edition, an add-on toolkit for Canvas—an automated exploitation system developed for IT security professionals by Miami Beach-based Immunity. In a video demo of the exploit, Immunity's Alex McGeorge said that the attack had been tested against fully patched Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows XP Pro systems running Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Google Chrome, and Firefox. McGeorge said that a Mac OS X version of the exploit is expected in the next release.
